The Draft EIS was prepared by an independent third-party environmental expert for the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“MT DEQ”).

The comment period included three public meetings in Great Falls, Livingston and White Sulphur Springs, Montana as well as two webinars. A link to the Draft EIS can be found on our website, www.sandfireamerica.com, along with a link to our community presentation, which provides a detailed overview of the Project.

The next step in the MT DEQ’s process will be to respond to public comments and issue a final EIS. The MT DEQ can then issue a Record of Decision (ROD) that approves the application as submitted, approves the application with modifications, or denies the application if it does not meet the laws of the State of Montana. This could potentially occur as early as the September Quarter of 2019.

Commenting on the completion of the Draft EIS public comment period, Rob Scargill, CEO and VP Project Development, said:

“Public participation is a key element in making sure that a project of this importance, both economically and environmentally, is implemented to the highest caliber. We would like to thank those who took the time to comment on both sides of the issue, making this a robust process. We now look forward to the DEQ’s review of comments, followed by completion of the permitting process in the summer.”

The preparation of a Feasibility Study (FS) for Black Butte Copper Project is progressing with the recent finalization of the process flow sheets, reagents regime and geology wireframes for the Johnny Lee Upper and Lower Copper Zones.

The Black Butte Copper Project is a proposed to be a showcase underground mine, designed and engineered to provide economic opportunity to Central Montana while fully protecting Sheep Creek and Smith River Watershed.

White Sulphur Springs, Montana – February 28, 2019 – Sandfire Resources America Inc. (“Sandfire America” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that it continues to make positive progress on a number of fronts with activities related to its underground Black Butte Copper Project.

The Company is on track to complete its 24-hole 2018-2019 Autumn/Winter drill program by mid-March 2019. This drilling program was designed to gather further geotechnical and hydrogeological data to support the Feasibility Study and to increase the level of geological confidence in the projected initial mining zones.

The drilling contractor, Ruen Drilling, has now reduced from three drill rigs to a single rig as the program nears completion and moves into the data analysis and modelling phase.

Initial work on the Black Butte Feasibility Study commenced in October 2018 and is progressing well with completion targeted for mid-2019. The Feasibility team includes GR Engineering Services as the lead consultant, with SRK Consulting overseeing the Mineral Resource preparation and Mining Plus conducting mine design and Mineral Reserve preparation.

The Company also continues to lay the groundwork for start-up construction of the decline portal pad and contact water pond upon receipt of a Mine Operating Permit from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (MT DEQ).

The MT DEQ and third-party contractor, ERM, have now progressed into the final stages of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and the Company expects the MT DEQ to present a draft EIS for public comment during March of 2019.

A public comment period follows, after which, the MT DEQ can issue a Record of Decision (ROD) and Mine Operating Permit, potentially as early as the Q2 of 2019. Following the ROD and completion of the feasibility study, The Company will make a construction decision with production potentially commencing late 2021.

As part of the permitting process, Sandfire America has completed the Black Butte Copper Hard Rock Mining Impact Plan, which has been finalized and approved by the Meagher County Commissioners. This unique Montana statute requires the Company to address all social and economic needs of the local community prior to mine start-up. The Company has provided the plan to the Hard Rock Mining Impact Planning Board, which is appointed by the Governor for implementation of the plan.

The Company continues to engage positively with local communities and stakeholders throughout Montana. Monthly tours will recommence in May and run through October.

The Meagher County Stewardship Council, developed as a stakeholder oversight entity for the community and facilitated through the neutral third-party help of One Montana, has been commissioned and now meets each month with the Company. The Company continues its practices of proactive local community involvement and development in the belief that these are an important cornerstone of responsible corporate citizenship.

CEO and VP of Project Development Rob Scargill stated: “The opportunity to build a showcase underground mine at the Black Butte Copper Project is now right around the corner. Sandfire America is gearing up for the project’s construction phase and we will be ready to responsibly push the project forward as soon as all approvals have been received.

“This state-of-the-art project will bring tangible benefits to our local Meagher County Community, our surrounding neighbors in Montana and to our supportive and patient shareholders, while at the same time demonstrating how modern mining companies like Sandfire America can develop and operate environmentally responsible projects.”

Permitting of the Black Butte Project is continuing following a slight delay to the process which has arisen due to the Project being the first new copper mine in Montana required to meet a new statewide numeric standard for nitrogen during the growing season.

By working with the MT Department of Environmental Quality (MT DEQ) to meet these new requirements of the accompanying Montana Pollution Discharge Elimination System (MPDES) permit, the Company has chosen to enhance its project design to include a treated water reservoir. This enables the Company to meet these strict Montana non-degradation standards year-round.

This work has resulted in a minor delay due to the time needed to add additional information to the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for review. The schedule for completing the draft EIS has now been extended to the Winter of 2019. The issuance of the Draft EIS will be followed by a public comment period.

Sandfire America’s CEO and VP of Project Development, Rob Scargill, stated: “While this slight delay in completing the draft EIS is disappointing, we now have significant momentum towards making the Black Butte underground copper mine a reality. The newly-incorporated enhancement further underlines the project’s credentials as a state-of-the-art, 21st century mine development.

“The synergy between the top shelf Feasibility Study team we have assembled, and our exceptional staff will continue driving this critical path. With the completion of this work, we can build an underground mine showcasing best practices that all involved will be proud of.”

Kick-off meetings for the Feasibility Study led by Denver-based GR Engineering Services Limited took place in White Sulphur Springs, MT November 5th and 6th. Under GR Engineering Services Limited’s lead, Mining Plus Pty Ltd will prepare the Mineral Reserve Statement and SRK Consulting will prepare the Mineral Resource Statement.

A target completion date is scheduled for the June Quarter 2019. In order to augment the Feasibility Study, the Company’s Autumn 2018 drilling program commenced in the last week in October and is collecting additional data required for resource verification and geotechnical data.

On the political front, Montana voters defeated an anti-mining ballot initiative I-186 by an incredible margin. VP of Communications, Nancy Schlepp, shared: “This is a vote of confidence for mining and for our project. Montanans declared that mining continues to be an important element of a healthy economic/environmental balance.”

White Sulphur Springs, Montana– July 25, 2018 –Sandfire Resources America Inc. (“Sandfire America” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the following update on activities at the Black Butte Copper underground project in Montana.

Metallurgical Drilling and Test Work

The 2018 Spring drilling program focused on recovering mineralized core for further metallurgical test work. 16 large-diameter (114 mm diameter) diamond drill holes dispersed throughout the Upper Copper Zone (“UCZ”) of the Johnny Lee deposit provided representative samples for metallurgical testing. These holes also delivered further clarification of the geology within the UCZ.

A total of 2,011 kilograms of mineralized core has been prepared for metallurgical testing at Base Metallurgical Laboratories (“BML”) in Kamloops, British Columbia. BML are world-wide recognized experts in base metal froth flotation recovery testing. The results of this test work will support the design of the proposed process flow sheet for the processing plant which is an integral component of the Bankable Feasibility Study, and will allow modelling of recoverable copper within the mineralized zones to optimize scheduling.

Two additional diamond drill holes pierced the Lower Copper Zone (“LCZ”) of the Johnny Lee deposit and improved knowledge of this zone.

An additional three diamond drill holes were completed outside the known mineralized zones to investigate areas of planned future facilities.

See Table 1. below for results from drill intersections through the UCZ and LCZ and associated drill hole locations on Maps 1 and 2.

All Upper Copper Zone (UCZ) mineralized zones were sampled whole and delivered to Base Metallurgical Labs (BML) in Kamloops BC for processing. BML crushed the entire sample to 85% passing 2mm then split off 1kg, which was ground to 85% passing 75 micron and delivered to ALS Global Labs in Vancouver BC. ALS Global wet-sieved the split to insure grinding passed specifications and then assayed for gold by fire assay with AA finish. Base metals were analyzed using a 4-acid digestion and ICP-AES analysis. Various other trace and major elements were also analyzed utilizing ICP and XRF procedures. Sandfire America utilized a QA/QC protocol which included inserting Certified Reference Materials (CRM) on a minimum of 1 CRM in 20 samples insertion rate. ALS Global included assays of duplicates, standards, and blanks for QA/QC purposes.

All Lower Copper Zone samples were taken from ½ splits of the HQ3 core and shipped directly to ALS Global Lab in Reno NV. The samples were crushed to 85% passing 2mm size, split down and then ground to 85% passing 75 micron size. These pulps were then assayed utilizing same processes and procedures as described above for the UCZ samples. The same QA/QC procedures were utilized as well.

ALS Global labs are accredited to ISO/IEC 170205:2017 methods for North America

Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”)

Preparations are well advanced for the Black Butte Copper underground project BFS. In addition to the metallurgical work discussed above, the Company has contracted SRK Consulting to complete a review of the structural geology of the property, utilizing historic data and new stratigraphic modeling completed by the in-house geological team. Combined with the existing resource modelling, this work will provide the basis for the initial underground design work.

Other packets of work for the BFS are being prepared for issuance for tender with a target completion date of the June Quarter 2019.

Permitting Progress

Preparation of the Environmental Impact Study (“EIS”) under the watchful eye of the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) is progressing. A draft EIS may be available for public comment in the fall of 2018.

The draft air permit was issued by the DEQ in June and will be incorporated into the EIS. In May, the Company received notification from DEQ that its MPDES (Montana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) water quality permit application has no further deficiencies.

Corporate Activities

In June, the Company completed a simplification restructuring removing two unnecessary subsidiaries and, in the process, released US$1.15 million of restricted funds.
